What's your NV driver version?  and what's the error code for BSOD?

Hi.

Has anyone had this resolved yet? I just bought a HTC Vive Pro 2 last 2 weeks and using it with my new Nvidia GeForce 3080Ti graphics card and I am also getting a BSOD as attached and it happens soon after I turn on the Linkbox. I am currently speaking to Vive Support about this but have tried the following so far based on their advice with no success:

I have tried the latest driver as of yesterday (20/12/21) and also rolling back the drivers to 496.76 and also 496.49 and the PC still crashes to a blue screen around a minute or so after boot. I have also disabled Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling. I am using the all in one link cable box and this is connected to the secondary output display port of my 3080Ti graphics card. I have tried all USB ports including 3.0 and 2.0

 

I can't believe this £1500 piece of kit is all down to Nvidia and and issue with their driver? Seriously? If its down to Nvidia not HTC then how are other users managing with their VR headsets? or is this only down to the new Vive Pro 2 headset?

 

To say im pissed is an understatement!

We have open cases with Nvidia that 471.11 causes BSOD with Vive Console. I can only suggest to downgrade NV driver for now.

yes but to what version will it work with? I have tried both 496.76 and also 496.49 and it still causes a BSOD

BSODs were no longer reported on 496 and newer drivers, and your stop code doesn't match with the previous one.

Following the advice from Vive Support and just did a full uninstall of the ViVE software including the USB driver and rolled back the Graphics card driver to 496.76. I checked in the Nvidia control panel and confirm this version is being used.

Did a full install of the VIVE software again and it got as far as trying to pair the controllers and it went straight to a BSOD. @C.T.

@J74656 Is it the same BSOD stop code?

yes same. update from Vive Support and they are now saying to try another PC!! There is nothing wrong with my existing PC. This is newly custom built myself using premium grade components (£5,000) . Sighs!!

OK I have found a spare Radeon 5700 XT card and fingers crossed!! so far no BSOD after testing out Google Earth VR for an hour!! So definetely looks like an Nvidia driver issue even though I have completely uninstalled the latest version and re-installed the previous older versions as stipulated by Vive support. Very odd why I am still having BSOD with my MSI GeForce 3080Ti.
